If this is a new model take of the handle ,If you look down were the handle plunger fits into machine you should see a valve.
press the top of the valve in ,if the machine sprays water then the fault is the handle plunger is not making full contact with the valve, ad a small pad to the end of the handle plunger ,
this should make the machine work

I have the Bissell Flip-it and It would not spray out anything Fist make sure that it isn't a problem with the button inside the handle to do this remove the water reservoir and unscrew the phillips head screw that is in the middle(long screw) then remove the handle,now take something (I used a fondue/smores...skewers) and press down on the (square white)pad,did water spray out,if it did then you need to extend your Plunger that's in the handle (somehow) you could and some sturdy cardboard(napkin/Toilet paper roller )or whatever else you have handy to fold up and drop/place in the whole and replace handle Ur Done If the H2o did not spray out then take the both canisters out of there resting place and check out where the bottom canister goes on the left side you will see the clear tube that runs down the side of the vac.it comes apart in two different areas check both of these places to see if it is clogged up at either point of it is you can (carefully) squeeze the tube to dislodge the clog put everything back together securely and make sure you place it in the correct places(there's actually a little groove that the tube rides in) and last but not least remove the brush and take a toothpick OR (the skewers from earlier) and check the 4/5 tiny holes under the brush house too see if they are clogged up and this should fix your problem (It fixed mine) Be careful and good luck

If I may! In most cases the heater is clogged. It might be clogged with soap that has harden over time. You need to take the handle apart. You will see a metal box(thats the heater) besides the wires there are two tubes connected to the heater. remove the tubes but label or watch which tube goes where. now turn the heater upside down. there are 6 screws on the side and 1 in the middle. remove them carefully. the 6 on the side have a small gaskets under them..you don't want to lose them. the 1 in the middle has no gasket, now the bottom plate of the heater can be taken off (there is a gasket with that plate ...be careful . you will now see the long channels inside the heater and need to clean it. the holes where the tubes where connected have to be clean also but carefully. the metal is soft.so it bends. now put it all back. hope this helps. if you want to keep this from happening.the best way is to run clear water after you are done.this will remove any soap in the machine which will harden after the machine drys out. hope I helped .

Thanks to many others who have posted on similar problems -- water
and/or solution sprays through the handheld tools, but not through the
main machine.

As others have suggested, I removed the water
reservoir, which exposes the 2 main water sprays mounted above the
rollers. Using, pliers, I carefully slid the clips back. Gently but
firmly removed the two red nozzles.

Elsewhere I have read
suggestions to just do one nozzle at a time. However, I found out that
if you remove both red nozzles, you can then blow through one side and
it will come out the other. In my case, that dislodged a nice
collection of crystal-like chunks (guessing it may be crystallized
residue from the cleaning solution).

There was also a bit of
blockage in one of the red nozzles, which I cleaned out. Make sure you
can blow through both of them with little resistance.

Reassemble:
Push red nozzles back into hoses. Using pliers, reposition sprung clip
back over the red nozzle. Snap nozzles back into place. Refill tanks
and power it up.

In my case, that resolved the problem of no sprays from the main machine. Sprays like new now. Hope yours does too!! g

The one's I've used the sprayer is on the back of the suction (suction hood which is kind of clear plastic), you watch that clear part to see if it is picking up dirty water. Recall it's easier to pull it and if caught just push down on handles and that raises front of machine to clear carpet snag. I would walk backward as it sprayed and then picked up the water with dirt. If different machine you could spray moving backward, go back to same starting point go again and don't spray but just hold it near carpet so it picks up the water.

Ours would not spray water either, after messing with it for ages I discovered the round black housing that the tank locks into where the water flows out of the tank was loose. So I held the housing from underneath while seating the tank & it started working. It's very flaky & a lousy design. Good luck.

Same Bissell 9500 cleaner. Hand piece works fine, but cant spray water / cleaner when doing the floor. I've made sure the rollers are working and taken my air compressor on low psi and blown back to make sure the floor spray lines are clear...

I have a model I got in 2001. I found that the water sprayer on the hand tool is driven by a little turbine that relies on suction from the main vacuum motor. I eventually found that the spindle inside the turbine had separated and hence the hand-tool wouldn't spray. I glued it together but that only fixed the problem until it broke again. I am going to buy another (about $23).
